Home Life in the Country.

Too many Of our farmers homes are
merely so in name. They are not homes
only places to stay. Do not think We
are insinuating that you must rush right
of and spend 81, 900 in buying new fur.
niture, carpets and an organ. Not al
all. One of the "Homeyesp places We
ever saw was one that was entirely in
nocent of any extravaganza in that line.
Three hundred dollars would have GOV.
cred the cost of all the furniture 10 the
house; but it was place we always en-
joyed visiting. The head Of the family
was always jolly and ready to take .
hand in the game, and has nine children,
always ready and full Of fun, did no
care to be out in the evenings. The girls
did sewing and knitting as they grew
old enough, and the boys were Otter
found making something" butno even
ing passed that some one did not have
something to read to the others-an an.
ecdote or story-something either to
amuse or instruct.
But the main secret Of their happi.
ness, if it was secret, lay in the fac
that worrying and fretting were ban
ished. One growler or fretter will spoi
a whole family. Fathers, mothers, d.
not allow fault-fnding spirit to spoi
the pleasure Of your family circle. Don
indulge in it yourselves. Have as coz,
and comfortable home as you can af
ford, but don't mourn over what 20,

agricultural.


There seems to be an opinion preva-
lent with many that as plaster or sui
plate of lime does not enter largely into
the composition OF plants, it can be but
of little use as fertilizer. They do not
consider that there are substances which,
while they do not contribute directly to
the growth Of plants, have chemical or
mechanical properties that play . very
important part in vegetation. Plaster
has both of these properties. As dis
infectant and deodorizer it is one of the
best as we'll as cheapest, substances at
our command. Any one who has kept
stock Of any kind stabbed during the
warm summer months, knows what a
hard task it is to keep their apartments
clean and odorless. Now, il they will
keep barrel Of fresh ground plaster in
covenient corner, and every day, on
sweeping the 6oors clean, sprinkle it free
ly with the plaster, it will absorb all dis
agreeable, noxious odors, rendering the
air sweet and pure, while the value Of
the manure will be greatly enhanced by
the retention Of the ammonia. Poultry
houses should also be swept clean at
least twice a week in summer and once
aweek in winter, and the floors sprinkled
with plaster; it will add greatly to the
value Of manure, and the satisfaction oil
having clean, sweet odorless csops and
healthy Hocks will abundantly pay OK.

Value Of Roots.

The chief point Of excellencs claimed
for roots is that they supply the amount
of water which all animals need when
on dry feed. in moderate aud gradual
way. Ii cut or pulped and mixed with
bran. oats, or mill-feed. they furnish a
SOFT, semiliquid mass. which does not
irritate the coats OF the stomach, aud
does not overload it or dilute lis solvent
juices as copious draught Of cold water
taken all at once would be apt to do =
There is force in this argument. Sheep
ought to be compelled, as much as pes
siblc. to eat their food dry, as tho saliva
thereby secretsd and mingled with it is
Of far more efficacy in assisting the stonl-
ach in digestion than any juice Of roots.
or any other moisture could be still. il
is undoubtedly injurious to the sheep to
be obliged to drink ut one time all the
water il requires in twenty-four hours,
especially ii it is ice-cold. "a
Roots are not so necessary for Mer-
mos as they are for the muttou-breeds !;
they are principally useful for ewes when
giving milk, and for short period be-
fore they begin. Sugar-beets, mangsls,
ruta. bagas. yellow turnips and white
turnips, are valuable 10 the order which
they are here given.

Needs Of our Cattle Industry.

What is most essential to the renewed
prosperity of the cattle business is a
widely consumption, not alone
of Western dressed meats in the East,
or heavier shipments for abroad. but all
along the line; more local production,
less speculation. and drawing together
of the producer and the consumer. As
yet the quality of the beef cattle all
over the land is far below what it might
be. but the opinion prevails and grows
that good beef pays best to the producer.
Formerly beef was not much questioned !,
whether it was the sinewy product of
the hot plains of the Southwest, or the
coarse, muscular fbre Of the Western
ranges, or, yet again the we'll marbled,
juicy aesh Of high-grade beasts bred in
the bluegrass regions. and born to in
dolencc and adipose. Within recent
years the wonderful lands Of Montana
the summer home of the bison--have
become covered with cattle. and In Mon
tana the hest beef on this continent can
be eaten This super-excellent product
is, however, only available for few
months of the year. When the herds
on these lofty ranges come out strong in
the spring. good beef is produced early.
and It will last far into the following
October, nourishsd alone on the natural
grasses.

Prepare for Enmigration.


Dakota should not be sleeping willie her
neighbors are up and doing, but unless she
begins to look alive there is prospects that
she will not get her due proportion Of tho
annual immigration which moves westward
in the spring. Her Southwestern sister
states and territories, in which tho spring
season has already begun, are bestiring them
selves in order to attract Immigration, and,
fovored as they are, with milder, IL less
wholesome climate than Dakota, are making
the fullest possible use Of their apparent ad-
vantage. There is a class Of immigration
which Dakota does't want and which they are
welcome to, but the great wheat growing ter
ritory cannot afford to neglect any opportun-
ity for presenting its advantages before the
desirable immigrants, those who come with
the intention Of building up new homes and
carving for themselves new careers In the great
West. To these Dakota should appeal with
all the eloquence Of of her immigration de-
partments eloquence and statistics. She will
lose nothing by being early in the field. Peo-
pie want time to consider such vital move as
immigration, and Dakota should see to It that
her choisest and most persuasive literature is
placed where it will do the most good without
de.ay.-St. Paul Globe.

Duluth's Prospects,

Judge Cloudy remarked when he was in
Washington the other day that the passage OF
the interstate commerce bill with Its long and
short haul clause, would give Duluth boom
by giving that port a monopoly of tho Mime
sofa and Dakota grain trade. He says ship.
pers will send their grain over the lake to
Port Arthur, thence by the Canadian Pacific to
Montreal. There are great many people
who believe as Judge Goudy does, and they
are getting ready to take advantage Of the
situation. Two bills are already introduced
to permit railroad bridges across the Sau
Ste. Marie from the northern peninsula tc
Canada, and one Of the railroads will be com.
pleted and running trains by the LIST of next
December.

our Military strength.


There ls no need for the people 10 be alarmed
certain Eastern papers and congress regarding
the defenseless condition Of this country in the
event Of foreign war. To be sure, in the
matter of navy we are sadly lacking, but
any invading feet would find it difficult to
thread the network of torpedoes with which,
should war occur, our harbors would he guard
ed, and consequently would not with ease be
able to land an army Of warriors on our shores,
Even should England, for instance, be able to
mass an army upon our northern frontier by
way Of Canada, it would meet with such
strong opposition as to make an attempted
invasion futile. Few people have any idea Of
the available fighting strength possessed by the
United States. The investigation just com-
pleted by the war department discloses very
satisfactory state OF things indeed. 1t shows
that without any system Of compulsory mill
tary service at all we could put into the field a
larger army than the word ever saw. The
aggregated territorial militia is nearly 200, 900,
the aggregated state militia, men competent
to bear arms, nearly 100000. Over 100000
of these men are thoroughly organized and the
others could, within few weeks, be prepared
for active warfare. The showing is mag
nifcent one, and as this country will always
have to depend on its citizen soldiery, 1t is
gratifying fact that the government intends
to make it still better in the future by making
generous appropriations for the purpose of
increasing its efficiency. With nearly S,00O,-

One OF the most significant indications Of
the approaching European war Is found in
the fact that American powder companies are
working night and day in their efforts to fill
the orders which have been given them from
the various continental countries for the explo
sive material. No matter how much each one
ofthe powers may protest that it is anxious
for peace and strongly opposed to war, the
fact remains that every one Of them is making
the most strenuous effort to- get on as thorough
war footing as possible. The activity of the
powder manufactures is merely part Of the
general preparation. BY and by when war is
declared other industries than powder
making will display extraordinary activity.
Flour mills will have to run double time, cloth
Ing, boot and shoe and all allied factories will
find 1t necessary to increase their forces.
Hardly branch Of trade exists that will not
feel the unusual stimulus Something like the
old 'fiush'' times will be seen once more, and
the Northwest will be especially affected.
That 10 why this country, while hoping that
the last resort of an appeal to arms will not
be found necessary in eGecting settlement
between European nations, will view such
contingency, If 1t must occur, with compara-
ative equanimlty. Rather selfish way Of
looking at 1t, certainly, but this is an extremely
selfish and business like world, In which the
misfortunes Of some rebound to the advantage
OF others moro fortunate. America doesn't
want to see big war take place, but il it does

LubricatinS Axles.

Many lubrlcats axles only to prevent wear:
they overlook the fact that by reducing tho
friction they lessen tho draft. A well-oied
axle lessons the load. Oil to axles is best gov
erned by tho rule Of ''little and often" If too
much is used, itexudes at the ends, gathers
dust, and thus the lessening Of the friction is
not SO great, while oil is wasted. In nearly
every case where the lubricant is wasted it is
because it is stuff not fit to be used, for good
lubrlcator costs enough to keep the average
man from allowing 1t to waste. Oil that
'gums'' much is not fit to be used. Castor oil
Is splendid lubricator for axles, butt il used
alone may gum too much. This is corrected
by the use of refined coal-oil (that used for
lamps), or lard; the coal-ol is best. Some
wagons are yet made unproyided with metal
shields or 'thimbles," being banded with steel;
for these some tallow may be used, as it is one
OF the best lubricants when iron and wood are
brought together. Pine-tar is good addition to
the lubricant for wagon axles, and is part of
most "axle grease" sold. Plumbago is another
good addition; its fine particles nll the small
Irregularities in the opposing surface, thus
making them smoother. A mixture Of lard
and plumbago is good for the journals Of reap
ers, mowers, etc. we have found castor oil and
refined coal-oil good also for this use, par.
ticularIy for use on the ''sickle-driver.n For
carriages nothing is better than castor oil and
very little lard oil or refined coal-oil. We
find lard oil has not "body' enough for the
journals Of rsapers, mowers, ETC.; we add a
little castor oil, or tallow or plumbago. While
the axles Of reapers, grain-drills, hay-rakes,
etc.. will not mead lubricating SO often during
the year as wagon axles, oiliDg them must not
DO neglected, as the rough ground the wheels
pass over makes the wear on unoiled axles
quite rapid. Tho axles Of orn-cultiyators re-
quire frequent lubricating. For these the best
lubricants arc those recommended for wagon
